New Illinois bill requires changes for how businesses comply with state alcohol laws
ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Beginning earlier this year, your local grocery store may have made some changes to stay in compliance with state alcohol laws.
Senate Bill 2625 went into effect Jan. 1, 2025. Under the new law, alcohol-infused products like alcoholic ice cream, whipped cream and popsicles are now considered alcoholic beverages and are regulated by the Illinois Liquor Control Act and the Illinois Liquor Control Commission.
Illinois bill would require schools to have more military recruitment events
This means that alcohol-infused products and co-branded alcoholic beverages must be separated from similar products that are not alcohol-infused products like soft drinks, fruit juices, bottled waters, candies, or snack foods portraying 'cartoons or youth-oriented images,' in larger businesses.
If a business is equal to or less than 2,500 square feet, they must either separate alcohol-infused products or co-branded alcoholic beverages from products that do not contain alcohol, or post a display with 'specified signage.'
The sign will be provided by Illinois and states 'This product is an alcoholic beverage available only to persons who are 21 years of age or older.'
New Illinois law effective this year will streamline process for changing names
The new law also prohibits businesses from keeping, exposing for sale, or displaying products containing alcohol next to products marketed toward children.
'Mistaking alcoholic products for their non-alcoholic counterparts is especially dangerous for minors and individuals with alcohol use disorders,' Illinois Liquor Control Commission Executive Director Lisa Gardner said. 'This law aims to safeguard the Illinois public health by preventing product confusion while also prohibiting alcohol marketing that may appeal to children.'
The law took effect Jan. 1, 2025. The full text of the law can be found here.

City approves task order for Lynn Haven stormwater project
LYNN HAVEN, Fla. (WMBB) – Lynn Haven is making progress on stormwater drainage improvements. It's been a problem for decades, but worsened after Hurricane Michael, causing flooding even during moderate rains. City officials signed a task order today to finish the remainder of the project. In 2022, Lynn Haven received a $1 million legislative appropriation to address long-standing stormwater issues. With clogged pipes and blocked outflows choked by grass and sediment, flooding has been a persistent problem in the community for decades. Dolphin transport underway at Gulf World 'We want to prevent any structural flooding. We want to get water from standing in roadways so emergency vehicles can pass. And of course, you know, our residents to walk down the road if needed in an emergency or be able to leave their home without flooding their cars out,' said Public Works Director Chris Lightfoot. The city divided the project into phases, prioritizing repairs that didn't require permits from the Army Corps of Engineers or the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. That allowed crews to start clearing and maintaining some systems immediately. Some of the work has occurred along 7th Street and Kentucky Avenue, and 13th and Missouri Avenue. Panama City approves new areas for golf cart safety 'The outfall construction that we're doing is basically excavating and armor forming the outfalls to provide a clear flow for the stormwater to get out. Currently, it's grass and sediment that builds up and constantly having to be maintained. It's difficult to maintain because they stay so wet. So we will just get these cleaned out. They will be a permanent structure, and they can flow freely,' Lightfoot added. The city has used about $700,000 so far. The remaining $300,000 will go to trouble spots like East 2nd Street and Illinois off 10th Street. 'That it will allow storm water to recede faster and hopefully not be in our streets and roadways,' Mayor Jesse Nelson said. The entire project is expected to take about 120 days to complete. That work will go out to bid in the near future. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
